If you would like to guide groups through the library yourself as a tutor as part of the orientation phase, please note that a wealth of information bursts upon first-year students at the beginning of the semester.

Recommendations on implementation:

• Please do not schedule your tours to coincide with UB tours:
  • Appointments
• Guiding groups through the reference collection area in Ammerbau, the Historical Reading Room (Historischer Lesesaal) or the Manuscript Reading Room (Handschriftenlesesaal) is not possible in this context - please be considerate of the people working there!

In addition, we have deposited a template tour that you can use to guide you on your tour of the UB:
